Borussia Monchengladbach strengthened their grip on third place in the Bundesliga with two deflected goals earning them a 2-0 win over Paderborn.

Fabian Johnson's first goal of the season gave Lucien Favre's men an early lead and Patrick Herrmann settled their nerves late on.

The win, coming just three days after they were eliminated from the Europa League, gives them a four-point advantage over fourth-placed Bayer Leverkusen in the race for a place in the Champions League group stage next season.
